1989 Taswell 49

The Taswell 49 is a classic bluewater cruising yacht built in 1989, designed by Bill Dixon and constructed by Ta Shing. At 49 feet long with a 15-foot beam, this fiberglass sailing yacht was engineered for serious offshore passage-making and extended cruising. The hull design has earned a reputation for proven seaworthiness and reliable performance in a range of conditions.

The interior accommodates two cabins and two heads, offering comfortable living space for extended time at sea. The layout supports both cruising couples and small crews, with practical accommodations designed around the demands of long-distance sailing.

The yacht is equipped with a Yanmar auxiliary engine, providing the backup power necessary for safe passage and maneuvering in tight spaces. The combination of strong sailing characteristics and reliable auxiliary propulsion makes this 49 well-suited to the independent cruising lifestyle.
